The Rings!

What a great Fathers Day!  Anthony came up and invited me and Ed to go with him and Megan to choose an engagement ring design at Matthew Taylor Designs in Shelburne.

You may remember that he proposed to beautiful Megan on Valentine's Day, surprising everyone with a unique steel and brass heart-shaped 'heirloom'.  Inside was a diamond and this engraving: "Megan, you are the love of my life.  Please marry me."  Our whole family was thrilled, because we get to keep Megan.

Well, they are busy people.  They live in Fairlee, VT and Anthony works in Hanover, NH while Megan is in graduate school here in Burlington.  She usually goes home on weekends and they are not together up here that often, so this was their first chance to think about setting that diamond.  We gave Megan a very special family ring and they wanted something equally special to go with it, so naturally we thought of our friend Matt Taylor a true artist and all-around great guy.

Megan and Anthony brought their ideas and the family ring and, with Matt's help, came up with a design that will be just gorgeous and as unique as they are.  We can't wait!

And, after fun at the jeweler's we all went to brunch.  Like I said, a wonderful Father's Day.

oh yes, and I've never seen anything as beautiful and heartfelt as the heart he made and inscribed.
